In Olympus Heights, poets Kevin Carey and Colleen Michaels reimagine the gods and goddesses of Greek mythology as contemporary neighbors in a gated community. You know them: overblown architecture, inflated ego, misplaced desire.


This collaborative chapbook, offered up as farce, is the result of a writing challenge between two friends (and neighbors) during one long summer of the pandemic. Each poet would assign the other a god or goddess weekly. Whether as persona, blackout, dialogue, villanelle, or Instagram post, the poems in Olympus Heights call out the privilege, misogyny, violence, narcissism and folly of bad neighbors of this mythic class.
